Brief Intro

Stephen E. Olvey was born in 1943 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated from Hanover College in 1965 and Indiana University School of Medicine in 1969. He did his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine at Methodist Hospital of Indiana where he was Chief Medicine Resident and President of the House Staff in 1969. Dr. Olvey began his medical career in Internal Medicine in 1972 and introduced critical care medicine to the state of Indiana in 1975 when he developed the first critical care program in the state at Methodist Hospital of Indiana Inc. He became chairman of the hospital ethics committee in 1987 and has published widely in the areas of critical care and medical ethics since that time. Dr. Olvey has been doing critical care medicine full time since 1975 and began doing neuro-critical care at Jackson Memorial Hospital in 1991 when he was invited by Dr. Barth Green to join the Department of Neurosurgery in Miami and to take over the directorship of the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital where he continues today. Upon graduating from his Internship, Dr. Olvey was made Assistant Medical Director of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and in 1975 the Medical Director of the United States Auto Club sanctioning body for all Indy car races. In 1978, when the newly formed Championship Auto Racing Teams split from USAC he became their Medical Director and remained so until retiring from that position in 2003. During that period he developed a medical support team that became the gold standard for motor sports worldwide. In 1985, he started the Methodist Hospital Performance Institute dedicated to the health, fitness, and performance of high risk athletes. Also, in 1985 he, along with three other colleagues, started the International Council of Motor Sports Science, an organization that now includes more than 150 professionals involved in safety and performance in motor sports. He was founding chairman of the organization and continues to serve on its Board of Directors. Dr. Olvey has published extensively in the area of high-velocity sports medicine as well as lecturing internationally in Europe and South America. He was made a Founding Fellow of the newly formed FIA Institute for Motor Sports Safety in Paris, and as such is actively involved in research on an international level.
